Answer to Question 1

B
Consequences of exposure to traumatic events associated with war have been addressed by different terms over generations. Battle fatigue was the term used in World War II. Soldier's heart was the term used after the Civil War. Shell shock was the term used in World War I. PTSD was the term used beginning with the Vietnam War.

Answer to Question 2

D
Severe anxiety requires intervention to relieve the heightened tension and discomfort that the patient is experiencing. Perceptions are often distorted, focusing is difficult, and problem solving is impossible, even with help. Environmental simplification and kind, firm directions are approaches to decreasing stimuli and pressure. The other options will not be as effective.
